Milk for Stress Relief

A Japanese dairy company has launched super-premium milk for stressed-out adults.

At the price of 5.000 Yen (some 30 Euros or 45 US $) for a 900 millimetres bottle, Tokyo-based Nakazawa Foods has targeted the Adult Milk at adults who live in a stressful society.

The price is nearly 30 times as expensive as ordinary milk. The milk is taken from cows once a week at the break of dawn as they discharge a lot of a stress-relieving hormone called melatonin during the night.

The company says it contains three to four times as much melatonin as usual milk.
